Album Description

The high flying humour of David Gunson. David Gunson is a Yorkshireman to the core - and proud of it. He was born in Sheffield (where he insists, the M1 is cobbled) and as a young man went to work in a steel foundry, but soon discovered that the opportunities for flying were far too limited. He left and joined the RAF, spending ten years Coastal Command on Shackleton aircraft. He is this well qualified to take us behind the scenes in the world of flying, and, with tongue very much in cheek, his 'talk' skillfully combines humour with hazard, raising many a laugh - and many an eyebrow. Dave Gunson's humour is based on fact, often mischievously, as with a wry smile he informs us that, "We force them down narrow corridors, thereby greatly increasing the risk of collision, while at the same time justifying the job of Air Traffic Controllers to keep them apart." BMG. 2004.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A very popular after dinner speaker.......2005-07-20

`I spit on your airplane'

and so began the French air traffic controllers (ATC) strike. To get aircraft to Spain, meant a huge detour because, like, France is bang in the middle between England and Spain. It was a rough few weeks and one day David has had enough and calls up and pleads with the French ATC...

David: `please, please take these aircraft' ..
French ATC: `Why certainly sir'
David: `Great.. you finished your strike then?'
French ATC: `Of course, we came back 2 weeks ago, it has been very quiet since'

The French ATC had come back to work and not told anyone.

This is an exceptionally funny after dinner talk by David Gunson and a CD that will be listened too many times.
